What’s the matter with (the term) “rape culture?”

MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2014

Valenti opines in the Post: Jessica Valenti is often featured in the Washington Post’s Sunday Outlook section.

Yesterday, she extended a fascinating recent discussion about either 1) the term “rape culture” or 2) the concepts behind the term “rape culture.” The fact that no one seems to know what is actually being discussed shows us something less than great about our emerging “progressive” culture.

The current discussion (or non-discussion) started with a cryptic remark by RAINN, which describes itself as “the country’s largest anti-sexual-violence organization.” Midway through a five-page letter to a White House task force, two RAINN officials said this:
RAINN (2/28/14): In the last few years, there has been an unfortunate trend towards blaming “rape culture” for the extensive problem of sexual violence on campuses. While it is helpful to point out the systemic barriers to addressing the problem, it is important to not lose sight of a simple fact: Rape is caused not by cultural factors but by the conscious decisions, of a small percentage of the community, to commit a violent crime.
The letter goes on at some length. That short remark has produced a lot of pushback, part of a very confused and confusing discussion.

What exactly did the RAINN officials mean by that remark? Constructively, Valenti asked them! This is part of her piece in the Post:
VALENTI (3/30/14): RAINN President Scott Berkowitz told me that the memo to the White House Task Force to Protect Students From Sexual Assault wasn’t meant as a thorough critique of sexual violence in America. He agreed there are systemic issues: from untested rape kits to justice system treatment of survivors. But he stood by the passage about rape culture, arguing that the term “muddies” the conversation about how to help survivors and risks alienating allies. “Many people interpret it—men in particular—as accusatory,” he said. “We need to encourage their good instincts rather than pointing a finger.”

Yet Tracey Vitchers of Students Active for Ending Rape says talking about rape culture has been instrumental to her work. “The concept of rape culture provides students with the language to contextualize what is happening and how they can talk to administrators and peers,” Vitchers says. “Rape culture speaks to the larger systemic problem of why bystanders don’t intervene, why victims don’t feel safe going to campus police and why you see such levels of PTSD among college survivors.”
Do men interpret the term “rape culture” as accusatory? We don’t know, but we’ll guess that it does “muddy” some conservations, as is true whenever a group starts adopting a private language that the wider population finds unfamiliar and perhaps a bit strange-sounding.

Yesterday, we looked through the comments to Valenti’s piece and to this earlier piece by Amanda Marcotte at Slate. We were struck by the total confusion—the sense that nobody seemed to agree on what was being debated.

Private language can defeat efforts at wider persuasion. That is especially true of private language which may sound jargonized, with perhaps a whiff of the academy attached to it.

More powerfully, unfamiliar locutions may tend to drive people away if they seem to carry a not-too-secret animus against the people being approached. As in the street-fighting 1960s, so too now: we will guess that many people may see an animus against “Amerikan culture” in some of the banners under which the emerging progressive world may be choosing to march.

It’s hard to approach the wider population, all 315 million strong, if you sound like you may not like them much, or if you sound like you have an animus against their “culture.” Progressives are allowed to have such an animus, of course. It's just that some such animus may make it hard to win approval for progressive causes from the wider public, even where the overall goals should be widely held.

Based on Valenti’s report, Berkowitz seemed to say that many people find the term “rape culture” off-putting in some way or other. If that problem actually exists, one solution would be obvious—people could look for a way to present the ideas in question in a more persuasive way.

That said, progressives and liberals sometimes seem to have a cultural preference for the name-calling of The Others. The examples are endless; we'll offer one below.

With that is mind, we’ll make one final point, and we’ll flirt with being a tiny bit snarky. Valenti quotes Kitchens saying this:

“The concept of rape culture provides students with the language to contextualize what is happening and how they can talk to administrators and peers.”

We don’t know how people react to the term “rape culture.” But if you want to approach the public and win them over to a cause, we’ll even suggest that you stay away from terms like “contextualize.”

People won’t know what you’re talking about. They may find themselves strangely inclined to turn away from your cause.

What’s the matter with Iowa farmers: In what ways do liberals sometimes signal that they may not fully respect average people?

Sadly, hopelessly, let Candidate Braley show you!

  1. IMHO the term 'rape culture' is being used by a certain group of activists as a means of gaining power on campus. Despite the fact that there's no particular reality behind the phrase, it has been useful to these activists.

  4. Let me offer you an example of rape culture, Bob.

    Back in 1988, in reference to a basketball game in which he thought the refs were making bad calls, Indiana Coach Bob Knight told Connie Chung on TV: "If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."

    Knight would remain coach at Indiana for another 12 years. When he was finally fired (not over the rape comment), he would take the head coaching job at Texas Tech, coaching there until he retired in 2008.

    Then he got TV gigs, as well as induction into various halls of fame and the recipient of the Naismith Award for "outstanding contributions to basketball."

    3. Yes, A Perez. I have no doubt that you personally expressed your outrage in 1988, and even two years later when the GOP candidate for Texas governor thought the remark was so cute he repeated it.

      I am also certain that you are outraged every time a woman has to prove that she is as pure as the driven snow to get a jury to believe that she was raped. Or that she didn't have it coming because of the provocative way she dressed. Or that she didn't say "No" forcefully enough nor physically fight hard enough, which would mean the sex was "consensual."

      Perhaps if Somerby would care to examine the "rape culture" language a bit more rather than dismiss it out of hand because it makes him uncomfortable, he would look into how universities all over the country, driven by the outrage of women, are fighting against "date rape" -- another term I am certain Bob would find fuzzy and ill-defined.

      After all, if a co-ed is at a frat party and has a few too many, she had it coming, right?

      The rape culture at work.

      And we won't even go to sexual misconduct in the military.

    1. I doubt Bob can remember all the way back to 2012. That's when Todd Aiken lost a slam-dunk Senate seat when he proclaimed that women claim rape just to get an abortion, because as he well knew, no woman can get pregnant from a "legitimate rape."

      Tell me again that "rape culture" is a fuzzy concept that needs more explaining, old timer.

      Delete
    2. I'm not sure what a "rape culture" is either. It sounds like a blanket indictment-- but of what?

      Also ... since the definition of "rape" has been expanded to automatically include any and all kinds of genital contact (except-- interestingly enough -- female touching male), doesn't this kind of cook the books when it comes to having an intelligent discussion?

      Delete
    3. Nice try. But "rape" has never been defined as "any and all kinds of genital contact."

      It has been defined as forced genital contact against an unwilling victim.

      But you go ahead with your "slut shaming". After all, rape isn't really rape any more is it? It's just simple genital contact, consensual or otherwise, and all a woman has to do is cry "rape" and she will be believed.

      Delete
    4. Wrong. Rape used to be intromission, and usually violent. Not just touching the genitals. That was sexual assault.

      I love the "slut shaming" accusation. Who's talking about the victims here?

      Delete
    5. P.S.

      I should add too that this new definition of "rape" actively discriminates against men. If a man touches a woman's genitals and she doesn't want it, that's a rape charge.

      But the vice versa isn't true. If a woman grab's a man's crotch and feels around, that's not rape. But why not?

      And if it is rape -- where are all the court cases? The new, expanded definition of "rape" creates a serious double standard in how the law's applied. It's also intellectually dishonest.

      No one's defending these actions. Just the labels.

    Just fair warning, though. I would bet the mortgage that Braley knows a lot more about farms and Iowa than Somerby does.

      Not a fan of Hee Haw's cornpone humor and didn't watch much, but they did feature a fair number of outstanding, genuine country artists of the era. For that matter, the two hosts, Roy Clark was one of the finest guitar pickers ever, and Buck Owens is a American music icon in large part responsible for "the Bakersfield sound" in country music. Hell, even the Beatles covered his music. Don't be afraid to expand your horizons.

  15. The intent of pushing the term is to change the culture so that prospective jurors will convict men accused of rape when it's just one person's word against the other's. What gets in the way of these verdicts is jurors considering the manner of dress of the woman and behavior, and witnesses who testify to her character.

    Fortunately these factors will always be considered and accusers will not be permitted to send another person to prison simply by pointing a finger at them. Not infrequently a scorned or buyer's remorseful finger.

    Progressives want one group of people to be able to convict another based on a mere accusation with no questions asked. We've seen this before in history.

    2. If I have a daughter she will be informed of the realities of accusing someone of a serious crime, and that people should not convict others based on mere accusations, and that this is the context in which any allegation she might make would (and should) be considered. Therefore, she should be circumspect about her behavior and appearance because we are not yet at a point in this country where an allegation is the only requirement for a conviction. Hopefully any daughter I would have would be intelligent enough to agree, and not an angry maladjusted perpetual victim.

But Anon 11:06, I would be interested to know what you think the alternative to jurors presuming the accused to be innocent, and seeking other information in order to determine how much credibility to assign the accuser and accused, should be.

    4. Being a "rape culture" activist, I told my son he should be careful of associating with any female. Always have an alibi because with a jury filled with people like me, we will take her word for it. He will be disowned and forever referred to as my rapist son if ever accused, especially by a drunken scantily dressed woman witnessed hanging all over him at the bar before going to his apartment and who was angered she was never called. The existence of a possibility that she was raped alone is enough to justify his losing many years of life in prison.

    5. Actually, there often is an inconsistency. Women are often confused about their signals, and sometimes don't mean "no" when they say "no."

      That's not license to attack, but it does complicate the issue. Not all young men are hateful, yet this 'rape culture' label paints them all with the same brush.

      And I still don't get non-intromission abuse getting called "rape" now. It means that almost anything sexual but unwanted now (or later) will fit the accusation!

    6. Sure. Happens all the time. And there must be thousands and thousands of poor, innocent boys spending years in prison because of these scheming women.

      You obviously believe that because there aren't "thousands" but only some, that justifies putting them all away on an allegation. That's the difference between people who understand that isn't the character of a legitimate justice system, and people like you.

  17. Significantly more destructive to rape victims than "rape culture" is the victim culture that forces women who are victims of rape to view that event as more defining and destructive than it has to be. A subtle form of slut-shaming more insidious than the overt type, veiled in "rights" and "compassion."

  21. Look at the cuckoos come out of the woodwork. I actually like them, Bill Maher mentioned the need for a Democratic Tea Party (Donner Party he called them), they push the conversation back toward the middle. Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck have actually had to make arguments that make sense in the last year, it forces conservatives to act sane because they're confronted with an insane person. Sure all men are rapists and we live in a rape culture that celebrates rape and will rape whoever you are reading this all too soon. Keep spewing it out, and write Dan Snyder a few more letters about Indians being offended while you're at it. It's all part of a bigger plan.
